When you try to hide a crime, you are complicit in the crime. Pedo Joe no doubt is the most complicit besides Hunter himself.

Protect the “Big Guy” at all costs. So far the corrupt DOJ is doing just that. Perfect storm?

Look for a sternly written letter from the Republicans any day now.

This is all for show. Merrick Garland won’t ever do anything against his people.

He wouldn’t have his job without them. I do wonder what a day in his office is like. Is he told what to do in prosecuting, or is he on is own? Does he bark at his staff? He’s a great attack dog for his masters. Even looks like a poodle version of one.

Start by immediately revolking clearances and access.

Kinda sorta reminds me of all those Duke employees who signed that letter against the accused lacrosse players.

Nothing will happen to these traitors either.

1) Jaw-dropping if true.

2) The repubs will do exactly nothing of any real consequence.

--- "...51 security experts during the 2020 election falsely portraying the Hunter Biden laptop as a Russian influence operation was in fact Joe Biden campaign propaganda...."

"Security" and "intelligence" individuals lied openly. and were widely disseminated in the lying mainstream media. At the minimum this is political fraud. More than this, it is socialist-styled fascism rising from the Democrats and RINOs. When government moves to protect a crime, the government itself becomes criminal.

We have only about five GOP pols, and zero DOJ staff, who care about this. The 51, and all Biden people, will skate.

Commit massive election fraud and sedition only to be given a slap on the wrist and no jail time

Why?

So they can claim the fraud has been ‘rooted out’ and the elections are now safe... just in time for 2024.

Jail with appropriate sentences for sedition or it’s all just theater.

“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”

Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions.

Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)

If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.

Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.

Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.

Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.

In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.

The 51 signers would make a good start of a prisoner swap of the J6 Fed entrapment victims now incarcerated in DC jails.
